Have you ever been successful with......

The ladies because of your fast fingers?

Ha ha, I have been approached a few times by ladies and in the conversation, they have mentioned they have been watching my fast fingers and had a few thoughts.......

Now me being a good boy, never used this to my advantage ahem, cough

Just wondering, anyone else had similar experience?

Or any other success due to technique, on the bass

I've had several girls mention my fingers after having seen me play and a few of them have told me that it gave them ideas...

You guys must be young because a fat wallet trumps a fat finger every time.

A better question would be has anyone been UNsuccessful with the ladies because of rock hard calloused fingers?

I have had the same reaction from women before also. They were impressed with my plucking hand's dexterity. It sparked a conversation that led to me going out with them. (pick players take note) hahaha

Only when it comes to marriage - and who said anything about "fat" fingers.

One day, many years ago, before I was a creepy old horn dog, I was warming up for an outside gig. A very attractive and equally young girl sauntered up to me and asked 'Is that hard?'
I shot my wife a quick 'Can I keep her?' Look; she gave me a very clear 'YOU are funny'

Most of the ladies in our audience would probably want me for my arthritis medication...

It sure helps with the gals who already "get" what a bassist is supposed to be all about, or are the more cerebral type. The airheads still go for guitards or drummers.

:-) as a Chick who plays bass, yes.
That's why I've always liked the bass players, and yes, we do have fast fingers, and i do use mine to my advantage. TMI?
